A Journey 3- By Godzeal Nwanyanawu

hm.. wat a day Donna muttered,d retake had bin grueling and Pete had bin thorough as usual but d drive back 2 her flat had bin relaxing and uneventful.As she took of her overcoat she cud smell fish,grilled and highly welcomed to her immediate feeling of hunger.Quietly she walked down in2 d her flat.Donna was quite a looker,brunette,5"11,round & firm looking breasts and a shape dat wud make Cleopatra jealous.

Honey am home....Donna called out,wondering if d man she loved was doing one of his special dishes.Henry....Henry....she called out again,by dis time she was already in d not 2 lavishly furnished living room,although dimly lit she cud still find her way around a apartment.Baby am home Donna called out again but still no reply,she knew he liked 2 play game but she was in no mood 4 game 2nite.Now walking pass d lovely Italian leather sofa,meandering her way 2 d kitchen which also housed d dinning table,on top was laid a lavishly cook meal of Asparagus and king Crabs,Salmon laid wit carrots and Broccoli,finely cooked white Rice wit mint and a bottle of red wine.Fine spread out wit red candles,it like a scene from a fairy tale movie.She smiled because she knew Henry had been busy.Probably cme back early 2 prepare dinner b4 she returned 4rm her shoot.

As she took anoda step 4ward in2 d kitchen,bang bang,gunshots rang out 4rm inside d house,but where she was startled 4 a moment she froze not knowing wat 2 do.But instinct told her 2 dock,so she did.4 a brief moment,then she heard d shots again but dis time 3 shots.Oh God! Henry she whispered nothing more than a whisper,the fear and apprehension of the unknown clogged her throat.Was Henry alrite,was he safe she wondered as she folded her arm around herself sitting on d floor.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming down d stairs,she closed her eyes wish 2 disappear as she always wished wen she was just a little girl and her uncle wud come 2 her room at night.A tear dropped 4rm her eye,willing herself 2 disappear,willing d unknown individual 2 walk away,but dis individual walked straight in2 d kitchen,probably bcos d stairs ended at d kitchen door.Donna crouched so hard she heard her backbone snap,so scared,so frightened,so unsure dat her gut feeling was 2 scream but she held her breath,praying willing d dis individual 2 walk away.

Suddenly she cud hear d faint sound of sirens,probably one of d neighbours heard d shots and had called d police,but.........
